The Fight

Everyday I fight this fight
And it rages on into the darkness
I cannot win control of my life
Yet I refuse to surrender it over
I refuse to conform,
To be another follower, a mere face in the crowd
Lightning strikes my heart
But cannot break it in two
As I desperately fight for my independence
The enemy is advancing
Pushing me back to the edge,
The thin line that is life and death
Not sure for what or whom I fight
What is wrong and what is right
All I know is I want control
You say you want to help
You say I cannot do it on my own
But I’d rather fail all alone
Than live forever in debt to you
